5 Best Wi-Fi Hacking Tools And Software!

 

  1. Kismet

Kismet is an 802.11 layer2 wireless network detector, sniffer, and intrusion detection system. Kismet will work with any wireless card which supports raw monitoring (rfmon) mode, and (with appropriate hardware) can sniff 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g, and 802.11n traffic. Kismet also supports plugins which allow sniffing other media such as DECT. Kismet identifies networks by passively collecting packets and detecting standard named networks, detecting (and given time, decloaking) hidden networks, and infering the presence of nonbeaconing networks via data traffic.

-Features :

1. 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11a, 802.11n sniffing
2. Standard PCAP file logging (Wireshark, Tcpdump, etc)
3. Client/Server modular architecture
4. Multi-card and channel hopping support
5. Runtime WEP decoding
6. Tun/Tap virtual network interface drivers for realtime export of packets
7. Hidden SSID decloaking
8. Distributed remote sniffing with Kismet drones
9. XML logging for integration with other tools
10. Linux, OSX, Windows, and BSD support (devices and drivers permitting)

2. NetStumbler

NetStumbler is a tool for Windows that facilitates detection of Wireless LANs using the 802.11b, 802.11a and 802.11g WLAN standards. It runs on Microsoft Windows operating systems from Windows 2000 to Windows XP. A trimmed-down version called MiniStumbler is available for the handheld Windows CE operating system.

-Used for :

1. Wardriving
2. Verifying network configurations
3. Finding locations with poor coverage in a WLAN
4. Detecting causes of wireless interference
5. Detecting unauthorized ("rogue") access points
6. Aiming directional antennas for long-haul WLAN links

3. WireShark

Wireshark is the world's foremost network protocol analyser. It lets you see what's happening on your network at a microscopic level. It is the de facto standard across many industries and educational institutions.

-Features :

1. Deep inspection of hundreds of protocols, with more being added all the time
2. Live capture and offline analysis
3. Standard three-pane packet browser
4. Multi-platform: Runs on Windows, Linux, OS X, Solaris, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and many others
5. Captured network data can be browsed via a GUI, or via the TTY-mode TShark utility

4. AirSnort

AirSnort is a Linux and Microsoft Windows utility (using GTK+) for decrypting WEP encryption on an 802.11b network. Distributed under the GNU General Public License,[1] AirSnort is free software. However, it is no longer maintained or supported.

5. CoWPAtty

CoWPAtty automates the dictionary attack for WPA-PSK. It runs on Linux. The program is started using a command-line interface, specifying a word-list that contains the passphrase, a dump file that contains the four-way EAPOL handshake, and the SSID of the network.

Problem: Date Formatting cannot be Changed in Microsoft Excel

In this article, we will learn how to change the date formatting. We will use “Text to Column” wizard to resolve the problem of change the date formatting in Microsoft Excel. Let’s understand the functions: - Text to Column:  “Text to Column” is used for separating the cell content which is depending on the way your data is arranged. You can divide the data on the basis of content in the cell such as space, comma, period, semicolon, etc. Let’s take an example and understand how we can convert the date into Text. We have dates, foramatted as text in column A. Now, we want to convert it into date format.     If we want to convert the formatting into numbers, then we need to follow below given steps:- Select the range A2:A11. Go to Data tab, and click on Text to Columns from the Data tools group.     Covert Text to Columns Wizard – Step1 of 3 dialog box will appear. Select fixed width, and click on Next button.     Skip step-2, and...
